A simple, rustic dessert perfect for fall gatherings—or anytime you’re craving warm, cinnamon-spiced apples tucked between layers of flaky pie crust. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for pure comfort.
📝 Ingredients
6 cups peeled & sliced apples
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
1 tbsp butter
1 egg white
1 tbsp water
👩🍳 Directions
Preheat the Oven – Heat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare the Filling – In a large bowl, toss apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt until evenly coated.
Assemble the Base – Roll out one pie crust and lay it on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon apple filling on top, leaving about a 1-inch border. Dot filling with butter.
Add the Top Crust – Roll out the second pie crust and place it over the apples. Seal edges and crimp with a fork.
Egg Wash & Vent – Whisk egg white and water in a small bowl. Brush over top crust. Cut a few small slits in the top to allow steam to escape.
Bake the Pie – Bake 40–45 minutes, until crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
Cool & Serve – Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream.
💡 Variations & Tips
Spice It Up: Add a pinch of nutmeg or cloves to the apple mixture.
Caramel Twist: Drizzle caramel sauce over the filling before adding the top crust.
Different Fruits: Swap some apples for pears or berries for a seasonal mix.
Extra Shine: Sprinkle coarse sugar over the egg wash for sparkle and crunch.
